Constant VIDEO_DRIVER

pub const VIDEO_DRIVER: &'static str;
Available on crate feature dep_sdl3 only.
Expand description

A variable that specifies a video backend to use.

By default, SDL will try all available video backends in a reasonable order until it finds one that can work, but this hint allows the app or user to force a specific target, such as “x11” if, say, you are on Wayland but want to try talking to the X server instead.

This hint accepts a comma-separated list of driver names, and each will be tried in the order listed during init, until one succeeds or all of them fail.

This hint should be set before SDL is initialized.

§Availability

This hint is available since SDL 3.2.0.
